I have never heard of a farm vacation. If you are in the farming profession you usually never vacation because someone has to take care of the animals 24/7.

A number of features distinguished them from other wagons of the day.They were larger than most other wagons, and capable of hauling as much as eight tons of cargo.They were constructed with an up-curving bottom, which helped keep the load together and helped prevent tipping of individual pieces.They had heavier, wider wheels than most wagons, and the wheels were usually fitted with iron rims for durability.They had tapered ends and sloping sides, resembling a boat, and when caulked for watertightness, they could be floated across water.

It might have been some furniture, or equipment for cooking. They were very limited in what they could bring, because of weight. The horses could only carry so much weight. It was used for the pony express and the gold rush banking...
